Wisconsin State Flag

Starting at the top of a shield
on a dark blue field is the state motto "Forward". Below it is
a badger the state animal. A sailor and miner show that the people work
on water and land. The shield in the center shows Wisconsin's support for
the United States. In four sections surrounding the shield are representations
of the states main industries: Agriculture, mining, manufacturing and navigation.
The cornucopia and pile of lead represent farm products and minerals. The
flag law was amended in 1979 to include the name of the state and the date
of statehood.
